Right... And the suggestion in OP is for someone to create an efficient tool supporting life-long learning. One doesn't imply lack of active learning in the other. So get of your condescending high horse.

Curious how you would go about this process of creating a list of your own knowledge that is outdated.

"Lmao no sympathy for anyone who buys expensive shoes"

^this you?

When you mature as a human being, whatever age that may be, you develop kindness through a willingness to understand and empathize with perspectives that conflict with your own. That doesn't necessarily mean you have to accept it for yourself. For many people, clothing is not simply a means of pragmatic function. It's also a source of self-expression, joy, and beauty. Now for me, $600 for a pair of sneakers is exorbitant and ridiculous no matter who designed it. But it's not a product for me. And if someone with the means feels great buying and wearing them, I don't see the harm. I don't usually pay more than I have to for footwear, but I would pay a premium for certain kitchen tools I use all the time if I like the design, enjoy looking at it, and feel good using it. What I do sympathize with and would like to see reduced in harm is the consumerist culture that pressures people with less means into feeling like they have to have such things for fulfillment.

Wrong, this is about all the excess lives lost due to misinformation and the moral culpability of those responsible, not your country's PR image. Russia getting Americans killed through anti-vax propaganda and the US getting Filipinos and others killed through anti-vax propaganda. Both are responsible for their actions. The US has proved untrustworthy long before this incident anyway.

Don't you mean appreciating the beauty in imperfections?

You don't need to be a therapist or psychologist to not shoot someone having a mental health crisis

This framing makes it seem like Biden is going against the majority congressional sentiment, but he is not. The US congress, overall, is supportive of sending military support to Israel, as evidenced by their passing bills other aid bills, which is a slower process.

How would you describe the media is treating it and how should the media be treating presidents who share such imagery regardless of party?

I mean there you go, Toyota's are appliances. They have to look bland because their style has to remain inoffensive after decades on the road.

That being said, I'm impressed with how much style they've managed to put on the new Prius while still aiming for long-term fleet vehicle role. I also like what they're trying to do with the BZ4 styling wise, even if it's a compromised first gen product.

There's also always the Supra and LC500 :3

I think it's one thing for a private citizen to do this, but it would be another thing for a sitting/former president running for election to do the same

People get butthurt over things others do that don't affect them all the time.

People also get buttgurt over things others do that indirectly affect them or violate their ethical principles.

Sometimes it's hard to tell them apart and sometimes there's a bit of overlap when worldviews conflict.

We live in a society.

I think people get too hung up on the question of genocidal intent in this conflict. That's not to dismiss the importance of the word and legal implications. I came across this opinion that expresses what I mean much better: https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/opinion/columnists/iowa-view/2023/12/14/israel-palestinian-gaza-war-genocide-definitions-discussions/71904125007/

As someone typically critical of Abrahamic religions, this is the strong argument for why we need those religions :3

Understanding and explaining how people may develop a perspective is not a defense of those people or their perspective. Simply saying "They're morons, end of story" is unproductive. Denouncing a nuanced examination of the problem of distrust in healthcare is counterproductive. You can humanize without condoning. And clearly the intention was to address the problem in a meaningful way.

Or maybe I'm mistaken and the solution is "Stop being morons. End of story." /s

You forgot, corporations are people too. And who are the most important people in the world??

It's official, the Pope identifies as ideofluid

The speed is mind boggling. Accents also take different forms now, I.e Digital accents. You can tell a person's age and region based on how they use emojis. It's complicated further because different culture/language groups share the same emojis (second language), but may use them differently, kinda like Engrish but even more universal. What a time to be alive 😅😭😅

Jesus, did you read either article? One is about Chinese-American individuals (these are Americans) who donated to proud boys and one is a historical account of ties between civil rights activists and Mao's government. These are not the same people.
